Meggie, welcome to OCF. Im sorry for what you have gone thru already. I hope that you are healing quickly and do not have to deal with anything like this ever again. Im glad you have written, Im sure your experiences can help others. We do have several members from Canada.

Im not an expert like Brian Hill or Davidcpa on the HPV. But I do want to mention that normally HPV patients cancerous places are their base of tongue or throat areas. Im sure if I am not correct they will correct this info. There is still so much learning going on about HPV.

You are very fortunate and I hope you realize that. You have a wonderful loving family and friends who have all stood by your side. That in itself is absolutely priceless!!! Not all cancer patients are so lucky as to have such support.

Best wishes for a full recovery.
